Apocalyptic Horror

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2004)

"28 Days Later" is the rare film that generates true horror and suspense and then dwelves deeper. Perhaps one of the most sophisticated thrillers, this film never misses a beat and strives to pummel the viewer into submission by attacking our deepest fears: loneliness, isolation, disease, hate, etc. By examining these issues, Boyle address the true nature of what creates a zombie, while in the process deconstructing the entire zombie sub-genre. A truly remarkable effort from a truly remarkable artist.
